Animal

Jon Bradfield

Synopsis

David is gay, disabled and profoundly horny. He can't eat, drink or shower by himself – or wank. Totally inexperienced, he embarks on a sexual and romantic odyssey, armed with a fierce brain, and dick pics that he has to get someone to take.
Can he keep it casual whilst also relying on round-the-clock care? And will he manage the thrill and uncertainty of random hook-ups after a lifetime of knockbacks?
Animal is a hilarious, challenging and heartbreaking play by Jon Bradfield, from a story by Bradfield and Josh Hepple. It won the inaugural Through the Mill Playwriting Prize, was shortlisted for the Papatango Prize, and was first performed at the Hope Mill Theatre, Manchester, and Park Theatre, London, in 2023.

Venice Preserved

Thomas Otway

Venice Preserved by Thomas Otway is a powerful Restoration tragedy that explores political conspiracy, loyalty, betrayal, and emotional conflict against the backdrop of a troubled Venetian society. First performed in 1682, the play is widely regarded as one of the finest tragedies of the Restoration period, celebrated for its emotional intensity, poetic language, and psychological depth.

At the center of the drama is Jaffeir, a man torn between personal devotion and political allegiance as he becomes entangled in a dangerous conspiracy against the Venetian state. His loyalty is divided between his closest friend, who is deeply committed to rebellion, and his beloved wife, whose pleas for peace and honesty challenge his involvement in violent intrigue. This emotional and moral conflict drives the tragedy forward, revealing the devastating consequences of divided loyalties.

The play unfolds within a tense atmosphere of suspicion, secrecy, and political unrest, where trust is fragile and betrayal can emerge from even the most intimate relationships. Otway skillfully combines public conflict with private emotion, creating a drama that is both politically charged and deeply personal.

Otway's writing is marked by passionate dialogue and emotional realism, giving the characters a vulnerability that heightens the tragic impact of their choices. Themes of honor, friendship, love, and sacrifice are explored with remarkable sensitivity and dramatic force.

Venice Preserved remains a landmark of English tragic theatre, admired for its compelling portrayal of human emotion within a world of political instability and moral uncertainty. Its enduring power lies in its exploration of loyalty, conscience, and the tragic cost of betrayal.
